Recently, on a National Geographic TV program, they covered the killing of a “wierd” looking bear (northern Yukon) that they suspected was a cross between a polar & grizzly. The bear was predominatly white with brown coloring around the eyes with grizzly claws. As I didn’t view the entire program, I don’t know what the results were from the subsqeuent DNA analysis.

For several years now, we have heard of the terrible plight of the polar bear, and yet no one seems to be taking it very seriously with the exception of those of us who believe the climate is changing and even we cannot do enough. When will the people who can do something about it figure it out before it is too late for these awesome creatures who “evolved recently and adapted quickly” as in 160,000 years? What will it take?
